The Bayan Lepas International Airport is situated about 10 km and 20 km from Universiti Sains Malaysia main campus in Minden and the City Centre, respectively. Taxis plying the route operate a coupon system by which fares between the airport and various destinations in Penang are fixed. Passengers pay the fare at the taxi booth in exchange for a coupon which they then produce to the taxi driver. Air conditioned taxis and limousines charge slightly higher fares. Fares to the Minden campus for the airport range between USD4 during the day to USD5 at night.
